Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War gives World of Warcraft fans the opportunity to see what happens when a beloved peacekeeper is pressed to the limit by an inconceivable horror. Will it change her forever? Break her? Or redefine her role on Azeroth? Do different times call for different ethical standards?

Would you consider the audio edition of World of Warcraft: Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War to be better than the print version?

Yes. I thought the reader was wonderful. She can't get the low's needed for male orcs - but few can :)

What was one of the most memorable moments of World of Warcraft: Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War?

The mana bomb

Which scene was your favorite?

Jaina and Thrall fighting

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Jaina - a woman scorn?

Any additional comments?

I thought the reader did a wonderful job. I thought the story was great too. It isn't a historical piece of work, but those of you who are fans of world of warcraft, Alliance or Horde, this was a great story - especially before Mists of Pandaria.

What made the experience of listening to World of Warcraft: Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War the most enjoyable?

Compelling storyline, well written. Provides a lot more character depth to many of the major Warcraft characters.

What other book might you compare World of Warcraft: Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War to and why?

The storyline is as good as her previous Warcraft books (she's written 5 other Warcraft titles- unfortunately this is the only one available from Audible!) I think she's the best of the writers for Warcraft books!

Did Justine Eyre do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

The narration was adequate, but could have been better.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Where does World of Warcraft: Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This was an enjoyable tie-in novel that is somewhat important for WoW players to read if they truly want to understand the lore, because the game skips over much of this story and jumps to the aftermath. And although the story is enjoyable, the poor narration makes it much better ebook than audio book.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator's normal reading voice was pleasant, but when she got in character to do male voices, it was an unbearable attempt at a deep gravely voice. Orc and Tauren especially sounded like a child's mocking impersonation of an elderly male. I often couldn't tell who was speaking because everyone sounded the same. I don't expect a narrator to have a voice that can truly match every character, but this was hard to listen to. Her normal reading voice would have been much better.

What made the experience of listening to World of Warcraft: Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War the most enjoyable?

It is oddly wonderful to see Jaina, who always plays the goodie two-shoes diplomat, really go off the rails. After the destruction of Theramore, Jaina is hellbent on the complete annihilation of Orgrimmar. (Yes, there are civilians and even an orphanage there; she doesn't care.) The magical battle between Jaina and Thrall (arguably her most kindred spirit in all of Azeroth) is shocking and epic. The love story between her and Kalecgos is believable and overdue for her storyline. All of Jaina's past "relationships" have been questionable, if not utterly horrific--Kael'thas, Thrall, Arthas...Talk about unlucky in love!

Lots of solid Warcraft characters span the pages: Thrall and Kalecgos, as I've mentioned; Anduin and Varian Wrynn make short appearances; Kinndy Sparkshine, Tervosh and Pained in Theramore; and Vereesa Windrunner and Rhonin. There are also a number of familiar locations: Tidefury Cove, Theramore, Northwatch Hold, and Fray Island.

The Horde, of course, complete the puzzle with their own cast of characters, most notably Garrosh Hellscream, Baine Bloodhoof, and Vol'jin. You can very much sense how trapped Baine and Vol'jin feel by Garrosh's increasing madness and megalomania.

What other book might you compare World of Warcraft: Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War to and why?

Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War is the best Christie Golden novel that I have read in the Warcraft series. I loved her style first in Rise of the Horde. And, frankly, I prefer her style to Richard A. Knaack.

What does Justine Eyre bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Justine Eyre had quite a feat ahead of her narrating Garrosh, Baine, and Vol'jin and she did it well.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I was getting bored with the War of the Ancients Archive, so I skipped ahead to Tides of War due to the release of Mists of Pandaria and it's scenerio for Theramore. Now, I can't wait to see what happens in the next installment of the Warcraft novels! And it's inspired me to read Wolfheart and Stormrage ASAP.

I have read or listened to several Christie Golden books. She is a fantastic author and I strongly suggest her works to anyone interested in the Warcraft universe.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator's attempt to give justice to some of the characters such as Garrosh Hellscream is so feeble, that it is border line hilarious. I have been tempted to skip over the parts where Garrosh is involved but keep listening in fear of missing a plot detail.

Any additional comments?

Read the book. Skip this particular audio book. The girl, although has a nice voice, she does not do any of the Orc or Tauren characters justice.

I wasn't sure if I would like this after reading Richard A Knaacks writing which were fantastic but Christine does an awesome job of telling the lore and story of Azeroth. A must read for those looking deeper into the lore.

I love this story, it is well written. The narration was decent, but, the "For the Horde" sounds like a group of angry leprechaun's are going to attack with the heavy Irish accent that she adds to most of the male voices in this story. The males that don't sound Irish talk slowly like they were sired by Mr. Ed.
